Canon: Stand Still Stay Silent
Character: Lalli
Canon point: Adventure 2, Chapter 4
Canon intensity:Stand Still Stay Silent is a post apocalyptic comic that adds a Nordic mythological twist to one's run-of-the-mill zombie apocalypse. While it is one of the lighter stories in the genre - as people are not fighting for resources, and there are many safe settlements and security measures that allows for normal life - there is still the talk of the "zombie" plague, monsters that are zombie like, and a world-ending pandemic event. There are also two darker points in Lalli’s personal life: 1) the suicide of his cousin via drowning to prevent the plague from killing or turning her, and 2) his entire village, including his parents, being wiped out by the plague. Lalli does not and will not want to talk about these things, so they can be left brief and be opted out of.
World information: Lalli comes from a world where a mysterious disease only known as the Rash Illness consumed the entire planet in the early 2010s, infecting all mammalian life on both land and sea except for cats, who are fully immune. This plague can either kill the victim, or warp them into horrific monstrosities known as trolls, their souls trapped in a limbo of torturous undeath until something finally puts them out of their misery. 90 years in the future, the last remnants of known civilization are in the Nordic countries (Finland, Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden), while the rest of the world is known as the Silent World.
Overtime, a good portion of the population that did not succumb to the Rash had humans that were immune to the illness, and civilization has managed to continue. There is military and civilian work that allows the people to adapt and live somewhat normally by way of quarantine, controlled forest burning, safe train and boat routes, training cats to detect trolls, and so on.
Magic has also come back into the world, with mages beginning to appear, able to cast spells, walk in dreams, and guide restless spirits to the afterlife. Faith in the old Norse and Finnish gods is very strong in certain regions of the known world.
The Silent World has not been explored extensively, with most people content to let trolls, beasts, and spirits haunt the remnants of human civilzation. That is, until Lalli and his crew were sent out on a dangerous mission to collect knowledge of the Old World.
Character biofacts: Lalli is a human male from Finland. He turned 20 a few months before the start of this RP. He has He has prominent cheekbones, a sharp, angular facial structure, and a lean, athletic build, and stands at 168 cm/5'6". He has no significant health issues or physical disabilities.
About the character:Lalli Hotakainen is a scout originally from Saimaa, Finland. He lived in a small community that had only a few immune people. Lalli, upon being found out to be immune, was trained by his grandmother to begin his mage and scouting training by about the age of 6 or 7. It is due to this he only had a few years of proper education.
When he was 8 years old, his entire hometown town became infected with the Rash. His grandmother, in an attempt to save what was left, urged Lalli to go to find his cousins and flee the their island settlement. Lalli and his cousins hid in a remote area by themselves in until a ship came and picked them up. They turned out to be the only survivors of the plague outbreak, and moved to Kerru, a military base, where Lalli was further trained by his older cousin, Onni, and other mages.
Lalli, most likely due to his upbringing, has trouble communicating with people, even if they share a common language. He is very distant towards others in terms of interest, as he doesn’t have a good education, and doesn’t pay attention to things that don’t interest him. It’s due to this fact he can be single-minded, stubborn, and overly blunt, often digging his feet in when it comes to certain things, which in turn causes a struggle to talk to others and can lead to many communication issues. It takes more patience than he often has to get him to really understand and work with a team. While he has been trained in scouting, he often has his own way of doing things.
When he was 19, his cousin Tuuri got the two of them a job on an expedition to explore the Silent World and bring back the knowledge contained in old books. Lalli wasn’t very interested, but went along with his cousin's enthusiasm because he really didn't have anything better to do at the time.
However, Lalli can only speak Finnish, meaning he did not share a common language with anyone on the expedition except for Tuuri. During the trip, he met a young Swedish man his age named Emil, whom he slowly became friends with. During the course of the trip, he ended up losing Tuuri to the rash illness. She took her own life via drowning to prevent herself from turning into a troll, an event that deeply affected her cousin.
After the crew's return to civilization with their haul of old-world books, Onni left to deal with a mysterious creature called a kade, which had been looking for the last of the Hotakainens, hoping to free their grandmother from its hivemind. Lalli promptly followed after him, unwilling to let his last surviving family member die on his watch, followed in turn by his own crew.
Lalli, underneath his quiet and muted outward personality, is someone who possesses strong feelings and opinions on the inside, which only come out under duress or extreme situations. He has strange habits that are cat-like in nature, due both to his wild upbringing and posessing a lynx luanto (a guardian spirit/protector from Finnish mythology) as an integral part of his soul. Therefore, much like a cat, he shows closeness to people via with physical proximity and small acts of service rather than words or effusive physical interaction. He communicates predominantly using hand signals, body language, and inarticulate noises due to his difficulties with understanding social cues and interpersonal communication, along with the language barriers that affect society in his home dimension. When he knows he can understand someone's language, his speech is often blunt and direct, as he sees no need for formality or general social niceties. He can come across as antisocial, arrogant, and stubborn because of this. However, this is due in part to having limited experience with social situations before this, being trained as a mage and night scout from a young age, which entailed much time spent alone. So, while he can be often confused and frustrated by how people speak and act and can easily come to the wrong conclusions, he is slowly coming out of his shell and trying to understand how to properly socialize with other people (even if his progress in developing this skill is slow).
Abilities: Lalli is a good runner, good at perception, and also a has good marksmanship with his rifle, due to be trained at a young age to be a night scout.
Lalli is a good runner, good at perception, and also a has good marksmanship with his rifle, due to be trained at a young age to be a night scout.
His most standout abilities are his skills as a mage (aka a Noita). He has an innate connection to the spirit world that allows him to hear spirits. He can cast spells using incantations that can control the elements to a certain extent, creating mild changes and affects to the natural world. He can also guide and influence spirits using similar methods. However, he doesn’t have full control of either the elements or spirits. He has been able to shield himself or others from attacks using spiritual energy as well as a kind of telekinesis through his luonto. Feats like this can come at a price, such as nosebleeds or comas. He is also not the most skilled mage, being average at best.
He is able to use his luonto to make these spells more effective when he summons it. However, this risks causing the luonto to be lost temporarily, which can leave him sick and weakened until it returns to him. It can also appear by his side in his dreams, but the spirit usually stays in his body in the waking world.
He is also able to dreamwalk while sleeping, able to go through his own memories, speak to spirits in the spirit realm, or (uncommonly) delve into other people's minds and dreams. When Lalli delves into people's minds, it allows him to see and hear what they see and hear also grants them the sight and hearing of spirits he has in turn. While inhabiting someone else's mind, Lalli is unable to control their bodies but can use spells to create incapacitating headaches and similar effects. However, inhabiting others' minds only happens when he gets lost in the dreamscape, and this is not something he can do on command. It also leaves his own body comatose and extremely vulnerable; this is not something he would do voluntarily, only as a last resort.
Noteworthy items: Rifle, an ammo pack (1), and a note from his cousin, hunting knife
Mixed gender room ok?: This is fine yes.
Player content notes/squicks: Nope!

IN CHARACTER
PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Touch averse, Lalli is fine with touches on the shoulder and close family and friends, but usually i
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Lalli is prepared for the worst; aka go ahead just don't expect him to hit first unless he sees reason to.
RELATIONSHIPS: Romance is very off the table. Being his friend and being able to form a platonic bond with him can be tough in its own right, as he's not exactly a great people person. He can work with people on tasks and business, and he can express concern for others. He just has trouble getting along with people sometimes (this is partially due to his upbringing and language barriers he's faced.)
PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: Lalli has the ability to sense and see spirits and their voices. He has a stronger link to spirits than the average person due to his mage skills. These once bothered him, but his training allowed him to not be tempted to listen to them as much.
As for those who can read emotions and thoughts, Lalli is rather blunt and sharp tongued. His own soul has a wild aspect to it thanks to his Luonto (an entity that is considered as the third part of the human soul of the Finns.) This creates an almost cat-like quality, due to it being a lynx.
MAGICAL INFORMATION: Lalli's most stand out abilities happens to be his skills as a mage ( a Noita). He is able to hear spirits much easier than others, having an innate connection to the spirit world. He can cast spells that can control elements of nature in some capacities (creating mild changes and affects to the natural world) with incantations. He can also guide and influence spirits with a similar method (also to a limited capacity). However, he doesn’t have full control of either, for example, only being able to control some actions of spirits but doesn’t have total control of them. Most of Lalli’s skills have been able to shield those from attacks using spiritual energy as well as a kind of telekinesis through his luonto. Feats like this can come at a price, such as nosebleeds or injury. He is also not the most skilled mage, being average at best.
He is also able to use his Luonto, a spirit tied to his own soul, to make these spells more effective when he summons it. However, this risks him getting the luonto to be lost temporarily, which can leave him sick and weakened until it returns to him. It can also appear by his side in his dream but the spirit usually stays in his body.
He is also able to walk in dreams during the night, able to go through his own memories, speak to spirits in the spirit realm, or (uncommonly) delve into people's minds and dreams. Lalli can get stuck in the dreamscape via delving into people's mind, which often allows him to see and hear what they see and also grants them the sight and hearing of spirits he has in turn. Lalli is unable to control their bodies but can use spells to create headaches and similar effects. This tends to happen when he gets lost in the dreamscape and isn't something he can do on command.
MEDICAL INFORMATION: As for those who can read emotions and thoughts, Lalli is rather blunt and sharp tongued. His own soul has a wild aspect to it thanks to his Luonto (an entity that is considered as the third part of the human soul.) This creates an almost cat-like quality, due to it being a lynx.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: Talking about feelings or about his past can be difficult terrain, making fun of him or questioning his skills can easily get him upset. However, he is mostly able to act under pressure and these will at worst cause him to act prickly or push himself. Undead characters can take some time, its rough territory for him.

OUT OF CHARACTER
BACKTAGGING: Ask first!
THREADHOPPING: Ask first!
FOURTHWALLING: That's usually fine, just don't expect him to understand. (Double check with me if you want to be sure! I don't bite unlike this muse!)
NOT INTERESTED IN: Romance, as I see this mage as VERY aroace!

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
VISUAL: Lalli may not look like much, as he's a skinny twenty year old wearing an expedition outfit designed for practicality rather than flair, aside from the fur coat that had a hood on it. He has ash blond hair and pale blue eyes that can glow when using his magic. He stands at 5'5 tall and usually has a neutral or bored expression on his face. He will often give gestures to indicate his feelings.
AURAL: While he has a preference for gestures and nonverbal due to language barriers in his world, Lalli is very straight forward and frank in his words. If he speaks, he will say what he means even if it is something wrong or potentially hurtful.
OLFACTORY: He most likely smells like the woods, earthy scents, like tree bark and leaves, maybe a few herbs scents in there.
DEMEANOUR: Can be seen as very cat-like, independant and wandering. He can seem either in the clouds or very confusing to certain people, as he can struggle with social aspects of interaction. He can certainly fee like a wallflower that has quite a few thorns, or a wild cat.
